The way you love me [private for me and MsJacobL]

Though Akira cried a bit in his sleep through all the night mostly he slept really calmly. When the morning came he was still sleeping. His pale face at last relaxed, long blond hair in messy chaos over the pillow, one of his nice legs uncovered up to his thigh. The sun was kissing the smooth skin of his slender hand. All of this could be painted and called 'The morning imperturbability'.

Just as he entered the shower, Josh sighed in relief, making the water warm, feeling so nice against his skin. As he slid a hand down his defined abdomen, a sudden knock disrupted him. Supposedly there was important information he had to check over, something to do with an event tomorrow that needed to be addressed.
Pissed off due to being cock blocked, Josh turned the water down to freezing cold, trying to get rid of his ’problem’.

After five minutes of barely any luck, he cursed under his breath, got out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his hips, hurrying straight towards Akira’s room. Josh hoped mentally he wasn’t as weak as yesterday, if so the whole reason for waking him up would be pointless.
Not even thinking about putting clothes on, Josh walked into the servants room with only his towel wrapped around his hips, his body wet, and his brown hair looking a tad bit darker due to the shower. Not to mention the hidden erection he had under his towel, although Josh made sure to conceal that.

“Akira? Wake up, I need you for something.” Josh spoke with a normal tone of voice, not wanting to yell unless the man didn’t awake. Walking a bit closer, he saw his leg exposed, how light his skin was, how smooth it looked. Josh then remembered the tattoo’s on Akira’s neck, wondering what they meant to him.
Josh couldn’t help but to think Akira looked incredibly attractive with the sun on his skin.

Akira mumbled something through his sleep but didn't wake up when Josh spoke. It seems that his dream chaged into something really unpleasant as he gasped, clenching his hand on the sheets. All of a sudden he opened his eyes. Shivering all over he was just laying there and then covered his head with his arms, panting. Not knowing he was being observed he curled up on the bed and Josh could see easily he was crying silently. With him shifting position the lower part of his back could be seen. It was covered with cigarette burns and some other scars.

Slowly, Josh got a bit closer, noticing Akira becoming distressed. His usual pissed off side where he’d be getting upset changed, he oddly began to worry now. Putting his hand out, Josh hesitated to touch Akira but froze at the sight of his exposed back.
A tug of his mouth made him slightly frown, keeping his hand away from the mans perfect skin and noticing something, or someone had ruined it.

With a deep but soft breath, Josh carefully sat at the edge of Akira’s bed and spoke, very low since he wouldn’t want to startle him. “Akira…you’re safe. Calm down.” Despite it being an order almost, Josh said it softer than usual before standing up and getting Akira some clothes from the dresser.
He temporarily wondered what happened to him, why he couldn’t speak and why his body seemed so scarred with burns.

“I need you for something.” Josh spoke up, returning to his usual self although keeping in the back of his mind that Akira wasn’t just some average dude that could be yelled at. Something was different about him.

[zajawa]

Akira flinched when he heard someone talking to him but as the voice was rather calm and quiet so he didn't get scared. He somehow stopped crying and wiped his eyes. As soon as he heard other man say he needed him for something he sat up on the bed and looked at him questioningly. His eyes were slightly red and his blond hair in chaos but was awake. Akira seemed to look a bit better than yesterday after a good rest. Looking at other man he was waiting for him to say what he wanted him to do, just hoping it wasn't anything scary or painful.

[RedRose4]

Akira sitting up made Josh feel slightly better once again. Walking over towards the bed, he put his clothes in front of him and smirked, slightly forcing it. “I think it has to do with decorations, I forgot about the ball coming up. So we’ll have to make sure the ballroom is adorned with things that shine and catch the attention of others.”
Rolling his eyes, Josh then shook his head and spoke up. “Everyone here is invited as well as others of importance, so that means you’re invited too. It would be preferred you go, mostly because not going would be rather…rude of you.”

Josh opened the curtains a bit wider, bringing in more sunlight and opening the window just a little to let in some fresh air. “I’ll give you a few minutes first since we’re in need of clothes, I’ll make sure we both eat before then. Oh and please…try to walk.” Josh ended with a sigh. “Hopefully you’re able to.”

Adorning the ballroom and then coming to the ball? Akira paled, thinking just how much people there would be now and later. He was now really scared once again as he feared people, just as much as yelling and somebody being angry at him. But what he could do? He didn't want to get kicked at the street and wanted to sleep in this soft, comfortable bed as well as eat those good meals. Putting on the clothes Josh gave him he tried to not think would he could do wrong and all the other things. After he was dressed he tried to stood up and was surprised to be able to, though his legs were little wobbly. His tomach grumbled loudly making Akira blush a little.

[RedRose4]

Josh left for a few minutes, just to put some clothes on and rid of his problem before returning to Akira and noticing him standing. “Thank god. If you couldn’t stand I wouldn’t know what to do…”
Going to the door, Josh spoke up while gesturing for Akira to follow him. “There will only be about ten others helping, so right now there aren’t many people but tomorrow….there will be at least fifty. One of them is a female named Elizabeth.” Josh nearly cringed at the name before speaking again.
“It’s said that I’m supposed to marry her, but the choice is mine, she’s beautiful but that’s not the problem.” Josh kept on glancing back at Akira, making sure he was able to walk towards the kitchen where they were headed first.

“We’ll eat first.” Josh said as he got through the door, looking at the chef and just giving a subtle nod, not even having to speak when he entered. Sitting down, Josh looked at Akira once again and spoke up. “Sit. Now.” he ordered with his usual tone.

[zajawa]

He went after master.. his master to be precise.. and was listening to Josh carefully. He paled a bit hearing there would be only ten people. For poor Akira it was already too much. And then.. Fifty?! He shivered at the thought of being near so many people. He stumbled a bit and was leaning on the wall for support but he managed to follow master. When they reached the kitchen he stopped, looking shyly at the people inside. Akira had a look on his face of scared puppy. He jumped when Josh ordered him to sit with a harsh tone and sat down where he was standing, on the floor and it seemed it wasn't strange for him to be sitting there. He looked at Josh making sure he had done a good job.

[RedRose4]

Josh had noticed right away where Akira was sitting, making him growl. “I didn’t mean sit on the ground. Sit in front of me on the chair.” Trying to keep his voice away from yelling, he noticed the look in Akira’s eyes and kept on reminding himself he wasn’t like the others.
Taking a much needed deep breath, he smelled the aroma of mushrooms and eggs being cooked, making his stomach rumble.
“Just…” Josh shook his head, speaking with more of a calmness to it. “Sorry I shouldn’t get upset with you.” He said while the chef came over and put the food down onto the table, leaving just a moment later. “Come on, you should eat. Stay close to me when we head to the ballroom, I’ll make sure no one bothers you.” he sighed as he looked at his bacon and omelet and began to eat.
